Well it's just a couple more days, and on to the next one!!
Sorry it's so long, but I'd get a lot of complaints if it was too short for everyone to get in a word!!

It’s pretty clear that saw cut scratted soup bone in emerald green will be the ultimate champion.

Waynorth, don’t worry, no one takes me very seriously around here, especially me.

Considering moving my vote from Bone to "Cast Iron Locomotive Steel Slabs".

 

[redsparrow]

...maybe those soup bones could be repurposed as knife handles (if not too soft) though the finished knife would likely attract bears.

...then, soup bone might be OK for a sheath knife but a pocket knife... is out of the question!
Soooooo, once again we're back to Wood!

Hmm that background is the weirdest bamboo and/or mud I've ever seen!

AAaaahhhh Grasshopper....only when the bamboo is parted by the Buffalo can the Tigers muddy pawprints be seen ...in the mud...Truly if you see the Tigers pawprint you are..roar, pounce, bite ,slash ,devour,growl.

I voted wood before I remembered that this is a barlow. Saw cut bone just seems so right for a barlow, so I’ll forgive y’all for voting wrong.

Give me the bone stock any time! I use bones for stock all the time. Weirdly wood just doesn't make a good stock, however long I boil it. You would think it should given that trees are just big hard vegetables but no, they can't even do that. Bones will last millenia. Wood rots.

Then again if you're going to put carbon steel on it you might as well have the wood. Neither will last the test of time all that well.

Common wood lovers, we only need 93 last day votes to nudge this by

 

[Alpha556]

Vote casted. Will be happy with whatever it comes out to be. I'm just glad to be part of the process.

Whew, this Is a long poll.

Can we have a poll for the length of the next poll .

 

[EngrSorenson]

Just call me John McClane, because I'm a die hard wood fan for this forum knife.
I'm starting to develop over-the-top emotional reactions to the cries for "bone".
It's enough to make a guy want to save Nakatomi Tower from Alan Rickman.

If bone wins this poll, so help me God, I know just what I'm going to do.

I'm going to buy two of these forum knives... and I promise you... I'm going to like it.

 

[Easyrider]

I am disappointed that wood was not the overwhelming favorite but alas it didn’t happen that way. Now for bone I think there is only one reasonable choice and that is to go with “jigged elderberry.”

 

[eisman]

for bone I think there is only one reasonable choice and that is to go with “checkered chestnut.”

Fixed it for you.

Why not worm groove bone? I think it would be stunning on such a large canvas.

Why not worm groove bone? I think it would be stunning on such a large canvas.

I do love some classic old timey worm-groove, but the last time that we did worm-groove for a forum knife I was underwhelmed by the result (and I definitely pushed for the worm-groove despite other folks' warnings). It wasn't bad, it just didn't have the organic feel that I always loved about old worm-groove knives. I've definitely come to the point where I really want to go with handles that I've seen GEC do examples of that I love (which is why I want red soup bone, even if it is a potentially risky handle option; when it is good, it is SOOO good).

Looking forward to the next poll!
